Hi all,

Several of us started to port our edu progs to kde4 so if you want to do the 
same for your own program, you can have a look at the HowTo I wrote here:
http://edu.kde.org/development/port2kde4.php

Trolltech reference:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.0/porting4.html

The kdeedu module does not compile as a whole in the kde4 branch so please 
just work on your own application.
Then when you manage to make it build you'll discover it won't work ;-) 
QPainter seems quite difficult to port as there's now a new class 
QPainterPath. And paint events need to be inside the PaintEvent method as I 
gathered.

On Friday, if eveything goes as planned, kde4 branch will become trunk and 3.5 
will be a  branch. I'll keep you informed with a mail.

It is recommended to port all changes made to kde3.5 over to 4.0.

You can ask your questions here as Albert (TSDGeos) is helping porting kdelibs 
and thus he knows a lot about Qt4/KDE4.

Cheers,

annma
